Help us make signed documents worth trusting

GingerDocs is a small, remote-first team building a secure document workspace — a PDF editor and e-signature platform used for contracts people actually rely on. We're hiring engineers and our first people-ops teammate.

Remote-first, India4 open rolesApply at hello@gingerdocs.com
Why work here

Small team, real ownership,
work that has to be right

We build software that handles legally meaningful documents. That means interesting problems — coordinate systems, audit trails, signing workflows — and a culture that takes craft seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Hard problems, small surface

Rendering PDFs faithfully, hash-chaining audit logs, sequential signing — deep technical work on a product you can hold in your head.

Ship, don't ceremony

No layers of approval, no sprint theater. You'll talk to users, decide, build, and see your work in production the same week.

Sane, sustainable pace

Remote-first, async by default, and honest about scope. We'd rather ship steadily for years than sprint for a quarter and burn out.

Benefits & policies

The standard stuff, done properly

Nothing exotic — just the terms you'd hope every employer offered, written down and honored.

Work from home

Remote-first by design, not as a perk. Work from anywhere in India — no return-to-office plans, ever.

Flexible hours

A few hours of team overlap, async everything else. We measure output, not green dots on Slack.

Health insurance

Comprehensive medical cover for you, your spouse, and your kids — premiums fully paid by the company.

Paid time off

Generous annual leave plus sick leave and public holidays. We expect you to actually take it.

Parental leave

Paid maternity and paternity leave, and a gentle ramp back when you return.

Statutory benefits

Provident fund, gratuity, and everything Indian employment law provides — handled properly, on time.

Learning budget

An annual allowance for courses, books, and conferences. Growing your skills is part of the job.

Home-office setup

A company laptop plus a setup allowance for your desk, chair, and monitor.

Team retreats

We fly everyone in for an offsite once a year — the only mandatory travel on the calendar.

We're an equal-opportunity employer with a written code of conduct and POSH policy. Hiring decisions are based on skill and fit for the role — nothing else.

Senior Software Engineer

Engineering4–5 yearsRemote (India)Full-time
Apply by email

Own features end-to-end across the PDF editor, signing flows, and document pipeline — from API design to the pixels recipients see. You'll set technical direction on a small team where your decisions ship to production the same week.

What you’ll do

  • Design and build features across the stack — from the editor front end to the APIs and the document-processing pipeline
  • Lead technical design for document workflows, real-time status updates, and tamper-evident audit trails
  • Review code, raise the bar on quality, and mentor engineers earlier in their careers
  • Tune database queries, queues, and background jobs as usage grows
  • Help keep production healthy — observability, incident follow-ups, and pragmatic hardening

What we’re looking for

  • 4–5 years building and operating production web applications
  • Strong with at least one modern frontend framework — React, Vue, Angular, or similar
  • Deep server-side experience in any major backend stack — Java Spring, Node.js, PHP Laravel, Python Django, Ruby on Rails, or similar
  • Confident with databases — relational or NoSQL — including schema design, indexing, and query performance
  • Experience designing REST APIs, background jobs, and queue-based processing
  • Comfort with cloud services, CI pipelines, and code review culture

Nice to have

  • Canvas or PDF work, document tooling, or anything print/coordinate-system adjacent
  • Real-time systems — WebSockets or similar
  • Experience in security- or compliance-sensitive products

Software Engineer — Frontend

Engineering2–3 yearsRemote (India)Full-time
Apply by email

Build the editor people use to place fields on documents and the signing experience their recipients complete on any device. Lots of interaction-heavy UI: drag, resize, undo/redo, and pixel-perfect rendering.

What you’ll do

  • Build editor interactions — placing, dragging, and resizing fields on top of rendered PDFs
  • Polish the recipient signing flow so it works flawlessly on mobile browsers
  • Implement dashboards, timelines, and document status views from our design system
  • Build clean, well-structured API clients and reusable components
  • Chase down rendering and performance issues across browsers

What we’re looking for

  • 2–3 years building production UIs with any modern framework — React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or similar
  • Strong JavaScript or TypeScript fundamentals
  • Solid CSS fundamentals: layout, responsive design, and attention to visual detail
  • Experience consuming REST APIs and handling loading, error, and empty states properly
  • Comfortable with Git, pull requests, and giving/receiving code review

Nice to have

  • Canvas, SVG, or PDF rendering experience
  • State-management patterns in any framework
  • Frontend testing — unit or end-to-end

Software Engineer — Backend

Engineering2–3 yearsRemote (India)Full-time
Apply by email

Build the APIs and background machinery behind document workflows — sending, signing, notifications, audit logging, and storage. Reliability and correctness matter here: people sign legally meaningful documents through this code.

What you’ll do

  • Build API endpoints for documents, recipients, and signing workflows
  • Implement background jobs for email delivery, PDF processing, and webhooks
  • Extend our hash-chained audit log and document lifecycle state machine
  • Integrate cloud storage, email, and real-time broadcasting services
  • Write tests that catch regressions before our customers do

What we’re looking for

  • 2–3 years of backend development in any major stack — Java Spring, Node.js, PHP Laravel, Python Django, or similar
  • Solid grasp of databases — relational or NoSQL — including transactions and migrations
  • Experience building and consuming REST APIs, including auth and validation
  • Understanding of background jobs and why some work shouldn't happen in a web request
  • You write tests and care about the difference between “works” and “correct”

Nice to have

  • Caching or queueing systems — Redis or similar
  • Real-time messaging — WebSockets or similar
  • Curiosity about PDF internals or document formats

Be the first dedicated people-ops hire. You'll own hiring end-to-end, run onboarding for a remote team, and keep our policies and statutory compliance in order — with a direct line to the founders.

What you’ll do

  • Design and run onboarding so new remote teammates are productive in week one
  • Own HR policies — leave, insurance, reimbursements — and keep them current and humane
  • Administer payroll inputs, benefits, and statutory compliance with our accountants
  • Build the rituals that keep a remote team connected

What we’re looking for

  • 1–3 years in HR, recruiting, or people operations — tech hiring experience is a strong plus

  • Organized and self-directed — comfortable owning a process end-to-end remotely
  • Familiarity with an ATS or HRMS, or the spreadsheets-and-discipline equivalent
